Idea Province

I have more ideas than I'll ever use: ideas for movies, inventions, utopias, T-shirts, businesses, and more. I could hoard them, but what would be the point? If you have ideas that you're squandering, send them to me - Rhys Southan - at mrsouth (-at-) gmail (-dot-) com. I'll post them for the world to take... if the world has any use for them.

Potentially Back-Handed Compliment for a Journalist

Also from Joseph Weisenthal at The Stalwart:

Just curious, suppose another journalist wrote a story about something truly astounding or got some unidentified source to say something really killer, like some crazy quote. How would it come off if I wrote something like: “John Q. Reporter got the Stephen Glass-worthy money quote: ….”?

In my mind, that’d be a total compliment, but I could see it coming off wrong, if someone thought I was insinuating that what I was talking about was made up. You think that’d fly? Anyway, don’t steal it. Actually I don’t care. Have at it.
